Confession....I have a MAJORLY detailed personal finance spreadsheet. I'm such a nerd about it, that I like looking at it almost every day. I've only been in charge of own finances since April of 2015 and I just created the spreadsheet September of 2018. Finally seeing where all my money goes is mind blowing!
So what is on it you may ask? I have my monthly bills, minus my salary + my extra money after that. THEN each month, I log what I use that extra money on. This year I've even begun documenting money spent on dining out, groceries and gas. I have that included in my monthly bills, but I like to see if I go over my set budget or not. Mostly I do.
